Progress and Poo-body

Well we have turned the corner. Little Mary Martin has slept through the night for about a week now. She takes her last bottle at 10:30 and then sleeps til 6 or 7 am. Woohoo!! Mom is very grateful. She has found her fingers and I think that helps her sleep through the night. Sometimes I will hear her wake up, cry out and then hear the distinctive sound of her sucking on two fingers. Then I don't hear her for two more hours...

In other news, James' potty training is coming along. We switched to big boy underwear last week at day care and after a rough couple of days, he had three days accident free at school. At home he will still have a couple of accidents but we are working on it. For example, I learned yesterday the hard way that he still needs a diaper for nap time. On the whole we are pleased that it has gone well and know that patience and persistence for the next few months make it happen.

Jim and I loaded up the kids this past weekend and, after a stop over in Nashville for one night, I continued on to Memphis with the kids and Jim went back to Atlanta. I am in Memphis all week and we have many adventures planned. I will post some pictures and videos if I can make my camera card work with Mike's computer. Yesterday we went to the zoo and last night James got to run through the sprinkler. Sunday afternoon he got to make cupcakes. And of course he spends long hours playing trains with grandaddy in the garage, in between potty breaks... Today we are planning to go watch the ducks at the Peabody come out. When I asked James to say "Peabody" it came out Poo-body. Guess we might we focusing on the potty training a little too much..
